[edit] Summary
Michael ominously tells the team they have to stake out either English, Fitz, or Percy. There is no other choice, and the flashback to his prior life shows the tattoos of the three names on his forearm. Meanwhile, Secret Service Agents Kellerman and Hale pay a visit to Warden Pope, asking why his transfer was denied. Kellerman exposes a secret Warden Pope had from his past, with the threat to deny Michael's transfer would result in his wife being told. Pope is clearly torn. He reviews his past; a son of his, in Toledo.
The four break team members, Michael, Sucre, Lincoln, and Abruzzi have a confrontation, but Michael prevails, saying it's a part of the plan. However, to succeed, they have to take out English, Fitz, or Percy. None of the other members of the team understand him.
In an elaborate move, Michael gets Abruzzi to furnish him with a key to the warden's office, which is made out of some melted toothbrushes. Michael, still building the Taj Mahal, says he needs to keep holding a piece until the glue sets. Warden Pope leaves for the day. Michael, who knew the piece didn't need to be held, uses the replica key to leave the office through the back door, and reach the roof.
Warden Pope, however, has to make a choice. He is being blackmailed into "losing" Michael's request to block the transfer. However, instead he makes a full confession to his wife about his earlier life, impregnating a woman with a son and then not being a part of his life. His coming clean with his understanding wife relieves him greatly.
The cell check begins, however, there is somebody missing... Michael. An alarm is sounded, and Michael takes careful note of the police vehicles. Revealed are the three escape routes - English and Percy Streets are swarming with police cars. Fitz is empty. Michael now knows the street the escape has to take place through. He smiles and returns to the warden's office, where he is caught with the replica of the Taj Majal. Nobody suspects anything. Afterwards, he reports his findings - Fitz is their escape route. English and Percy are the streets that will be monitored if an escape is suspected.
Nick and Veronica continue to try and find legal grounds to exonerate Lincoln. They come across a videotape of the murder, and try to get an original copy. However, they find it was destroyed in a "leak accident".
The next day, Kellerman and Hale are furious that the Michael's transfer request did not go through.
[edit] Trivia
- The music used in the scene where Michael is being escorted out of the prison is "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch.
